A short list of areas outside of “moose density” where Canada’s primed to dominate:

Food security. New weather patterns will make the frozen north into prime breadbasket material.

Oil availability. Alberta’s tar sands have enough oil that they could be supplying 30 percent of U.S. imports by 2030. Forget drinking our milkshake — Canada will own our milkshake.

Existence of trees. Canada is the world’s third-most-forested country, so it’ll probably have a few stragglers left even as we move towards a future that makes the Lorax cry.
